Wes Lang, Illustrator, New York

About

This dark painting by illustrator Wes Lang features a prominent skeletal figure standing in the foreground, wearing dark textured garments and a decorative headband. Beside the figure rests a glass bottle and a filled wine glass sitting on a small green-draped surface. In the background hangs an ornate, heavy gilt frame enclosing a separate scene of a reclining skeletal figure against a reddish backdrop. The entire composition is set against a dark, patterned blue wall texture, rendered with visible painterly brushstrokes and a moody, atmospheric palette.
